Title: Kingtech KS200 XT MX blacks VERY thick doubleshots
Post by: IvanIvanovich on Sat, 12 January 2013, 18:19:59

Kingtech KS200 XT (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Kingtech-Portable-XT-Keyboard-Works-/190763634875?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c6a6610bb) perhaps a touch pricy, but possibly interesting for vintage lover. Some of the thickest MX cylindrical keycaps I have ever seen.

No, they aren't Cherry as they seem to be nearly 2x as thick and have a totally different font, but they appear to be a very similar or identical profile.

Very nice indeed, but postage to the UK doubles the price unfortunately  :(
Lysol deserves an award for all these finds as of late!

If you're interested you could take advantage of a proxy shipper to bring the cost down... as long as it is under 4lbs.

FWIW, I don't think getting it down to 4lbs will be easy, especially with that heavy mounting plate. Mailing just the keycaps is easily possible though.
